Vigorous and adaptable, it is an excellent choice for green manure, cover cropping, grazing and adding biomass to composting systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParticularly well suited to warm and moist conditions, Japanese Millet establishes rapidly and can help protect bare soil, suppress weeds and contribute valuable organic matter when cut and incorporated back into the ground. It can also be grazed and has good regrowth following cutting or grazing when conditions are favourable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJapanese Millet thrives during the warmer months and is especially useful in tropical and subtropical regions, where it can be sown with the onset of the wet season. Its rapid growth makes it a practical option for filling gaps between crops, establishing temporary forage or producing biomass before the next planting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 300 seeds per gram\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximately 100 seeds per packet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to Plant (Australia)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTropics: Wet season\u003cbr\u003eSubtropics: Spring to summer\u003cbr\u003eMild climates: Late spring to summer\u003cbr\u003eCold climates: Late spring to summer after frost\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting \/ Sowing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSow directly into prepared soil once conditions are warm, at approximately \u003cstrong\u003e6 kg per hectare\u003c\/strong\u003e for larger plantings.
